Diamonds of the Night Ratings & Reviews
From the Front Row
Mattie Lucas
A film of such raw power that it still feels genuinely radical, a hallucinatory, aesthetically visionary work.
Q Network Film Desk
James Kendrick
largely eschews a traditional cinematic approach to the subject and instead dramatizes the action through a fractured subjectivity that renders the entire experience dreamlike and fleeting
Film Frenzy
Matt Brunson
This manages to combine the striking realism of a documentary with the surrealistic touches of an experimental piece.
PopMatters
Michael Barrett
It's not only possible for audiences to emerge from this movie without a clear idea of what happens in it, it's virtually required. We're left with existential terror.
Eye for Film
Amber Wilkinson
Not just specifically about the Second World War, Nemec's film still has resonance today as a broader allegory for the politics of power and the often belligerent attitude of the old towards the young.

Haunting.
IONCINEMA.com
Nicholas Bell
An exacting anti-war film, Diamonds of the Night is a formally experimental exercise of cinema as sensation, an immersion into the bleak poetry of survival and nightmarish desperation.
New York Times
Renata Adler
One loses interest. It looks unreal.
Spectrum Culture
David Harris
Diamonds of the Night remains a crowing jewel in an important film movement that aches to be experienced.
Backseat Mafia
Rob Aldam
A thrilling tale of survival, dehumanisation and coming-of-age in Nazi-occupied Europe.
